Common questions

Is CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser Refill Pouch fragrance-free?

Yes. No fragrance, essential oils or fragrance allergens are listed in its ingredients. CeraVe also describes it as fragrance-free.

Does CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser Refill Pouch contain alcohol?

No drying alcohol (alcohol denat. or ethanol) is listed. It does contain cetearyl alcohol and stearyl alcohol: fatty alcohols that soften and thicken the formula and aren't drying.

Is CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser Refill Pouch safe for fungal acne?

It contains 4 ingredients that fungal-acne (Malassezia) guides usually avoid: fatty-acid esters & glycerides (peg-40 stearate, glyceryl stearate, sodium lauroyl lactylate); polysorbates (polysorbate 20). How much they matter depends on the amount and the rest of the formula. The evidence comes mainly from lab studies of yeast growth, and fungal acne needs a diagnosis from a GP or dermatologist.

Is CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser Refill Pouch suitable for sensitive skin?

Its ingredient list avoids the most common irritants: no fragrance, essential oils, drying alcohol or strong exfoliating acids are listed. Reactions are individual, so patch-test anything new.
